When you start communicating to someone new or learn a new skill, the initial energy is high.
The rise to reach the threshold potential is so difficult and takes lot of effort but it is also an enjoyable adventure.
You learn, you unlearn so many things during the course of this joyride.
But the moment you have reached the threshold point no romantic thoughts are with you, cause till then the 'quantity you were running towards was an enigma to you and that inspired you to race towards it'.
But the moment you have reached the target, you are so lost cause the sense of adventure stops the moment you achieve what you were hoping to achieve.
I think one would come across similar kind of emotions when you in pursuit of a friend or spouse or a sports-hobby or new skill or read about a new topic etc., the energy level you carry when you were in pursuit is so high, but the moment you are 'there' you stand puzzled with only one question running through your mind 'okay, what next?'.
You feel so happy when you are in pursuit cause that keeps your head occupied with interesting challenges, but the moment you are 'there', you feel upset cause what was your "raison d'etre" is lost.
No wonder you end up liking the phases where 'you struggle' or to put in better words 'you learn about life and yourself', so better enjoy the rise-up cause once after reaching the summit you only have to walk down!

Another profound thought. This can be related to everything in our life - career life, personal life, relationships etc. The best part is not all realise that one day they are going to reach the threshold and have to return. Some want to hang on, while others refuse to accept they have to come back. That's the lesser mortals for you. :) :)
